Abstract: The major object of this panel was to obtain informationon the state of art of Iodine-123 production in Western Europe.Technical, medical and organizational problems were discussedextensively, during the one-day meeting and a stimulatingexchange of information between the various $^{123}$I-producersand users has been initiated. Some specific examples of medicalapplication were also included in order to get a feeling ofthe degree of acceptance by the medical community and thedemand for this isotope. A more detailed description ofpresent medical applications of Iodine-123 can be found in theproceedings of a Conference which was held in Rockville, MarylandUSA in May 1975 [HEW Publication (FDA) 76-8033 (1976)].The meeting clearly demonstrated the great demand f or thisisotope but it also showed that the presend rate of productionis well below the demand. In order to fill this gap not onlyfurther technical development is needed but also the organizationalquestion of distribution has to be solved, perhapswithin a network of collaborating cyclotrons, a task which isconsiderably more diff icult in Western Europe than in the USA.The reason for publishing the proceedings of this panel is notonly to provide each participant with all the informationcollected during and after the meeting but also to disseminateit to those who were not able to attend the panel discussion,in particular the potential medical and pharmaceutical usersand distributors.We hope that the proceedings of the panel will further stimulatethe discussion about the production, application and distributionof Iodine-123 and that it will contribute to the solution of theproblems involved. Any comment and critique concerning theproceedings is welcome.
